Seeking OptmizePress expert to create feature opt-in, and fix BPS security plug-in

Hi this is a job in two parts:

1. I'm using Optimize Press on my site and want to create a page width opt-in box on the home-page (as in http://passivepanda.com/) - an opt-in box that stretches across the whole top of the page.

2. I'm getting the following alert in my dashboard: "BPS Alert! A valid BPS htaccess file was NOT found in your wp-admin folder
If you are upgrading BPS this Alert will go away after you Refresh your Browser.
If you still see this Alert after refreshing your Browser then Activate BulletProof Mode for your wp-admin folder.
BulletProof Mode for the wp-admin folder MUST be activated when you have BulletProof Mode activated for the Root folder.
Check the BPS Security Status page to view your BPS Security Status."

I need help to update my settings/identify the htaccess file to ensure my site is safely backing up and secure.

I'd like both of these jobs completed by Fri 21st Sept.

Thanks.
